Vibe Code the Navigator

Chapter 6 of 8 · Section 25 of 30

Sections

1. Intro

  • 1. Learning objectives
  • 2. The running matter
  • 3. Who is in the room
  • 4. Local KIND presenter rehearsal
  • 5. How Neon Law Navigator works
  • 6. Matter files: portal for clients, workbench for lawyers
  • 7. The Shared Drive and Project repository map

2. Build the Notation

  • 8. Install (no install)
  • 9. Sign in as yourself
  • 10. Tool calls are just prompts with specific words
  • 11. Build the template
  • 12. Run the transactional checklist
  • 13. Kaizen — share what you found

3. Keep the Attorney in Control

  • 14. When AIDA asks before she acts
  • 15. When an answer is wrong, send it back — don't start over
  • 16. Answers and questions are two different things
  • 17. The conflict check runs before every new matter

4. Complete the Matter

  • 18. Notarize and demo
  • 19. Why this matters

5. Take It to the CLI

  • 20. Run your own — and drive it from the command line
  • 21. Form a Nevada LLC from the command line
  • 22. Walk a questionnaire like a text adventure

6. Vibe Code the Navigator

  • 23. Your installation publishes its own schema
  • 24. Two doors — `/api` for a page, `/mcp` for an agent
  • 25. A first application is about fifteen lines
  • 26. Vibe the screen — do not vibe the rules
  • 27. Ship it as a Project's client portal
  • 28. The line your application does not cross

7. Prepare the Room Before Class

  • 29. Seat every attendee before the first login

8. Wrap Up

  • 30. Share what you built

A first application is about fifteen lines

Point a fetch at your own host and read the tool catalog back:


const res = await fetch("https://<your-host>/mcp", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
    Authorization: `Bearer ${token}`,
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    jsonrpc: "2.0",
    id: 1,
    method: "tools/list",
  }),
});

const { result } = await res.json();
console.log(result.tools.map((t) => t.name));

Swap tools/list for tools/call with {"name": "aida_list_projects", "arguments": {}} and you have your matters.

Presenter notes

The token is the interesting part, and it is deliberately not something your application mints. It is a credential your installation already issued to a person your installation already knows — a Google OAuth access token on a firm deployment, a signed bearer on a development one. Navigator validates it, resolves it to a person record, and runs the same policy decision that guards the lawyer workbench. Your JavaScript is a caller, not a gate.

Say that out loud in the room, because it is the thing that makes vibe coding safe here rather than reckless. An application built in an afternoon by someone who has never read the authorization model still cannot show a client a document the portal would not, or reach a matter the signed-in lawyer has no participation on. The answer comes from the policy layer either way. A bug in your app is a broken screen; it is not a disclosure.
